What does Jerk Chicken supposed to taste like?

liquid smoke is decent but this really works

So, these are good? I've been thinking about these, since I now live in a high-rise apartment.
 
Walkerswood jerk seasoning + McCormick's dry rub jerk season + ground all spice with honey mustard as a binder are the base for what I use
I also use Walkerswood combined with a homemade dry rub I get from a Jamaican cat here in Panama. Before I moved here, I used to get it from this Jamaican cat from the BX. That shit makes me sneeze when I use it! Top shelf shit! :lol:
 
I’m from the south, so I didn’t get hip to Caribbean food until about 10 or so years ago.
I tried jerk chicken again after a terrible first experience from years earlier.

That shit tasted like the inside of a cauldron. It was straight heat. It destroyed my tastebuds and I couldn’t finish it.

Is that how it’s supposed to be?

P.S. Niggas that take pride in eating super hot food are weirdos, so miss me with the comments. That’s cracka behavior.
My brother in N.C. is insane with "that heat" shit.... he grows his own peppers, cross breeding them with others to make them hotter..... he has a big piece of property.... had his neighbor gagging when he was grinding dried ones from his garden to make it powdered, he did this on his deck. I always say to him "What's the point of making shit hotter and hotter to put on your food, to the point that you can't possibly taste the damn food?"

Must've caught them on a off day. That's my primary goto spot whenever I don't feel like making my own. I have caught a batch that were hotter than usual before but it's normally mild to me. Their rice & peas is very flavorful especially with oxtail gravy added
Real carribean cooks that cook stuff like that..... don't have "off" days.... just sayin'

I might have to try it.

I tried this shit, and all it did was have the crib smelling like smoke. Didn't really have the chicken cooked like I prefer.

I have one of these for when it's snowy outside, I use pecan chips and do small amounts of ribs, it works but the only problem is the small amounts that you can fit in it. Was gonna get around to making one out of a large thick bottomed steel pot I no longer use. Make an area at the botton for wood chips in foil to sit at and a raised area with another container to hold the meat and something to catch any drippings. I have a hood fan over my stove that exhausts any smoke that leaks out so as to not keep setting off my smoke detectors!

Word! If it ain't good, then it's not cooked right!

Me I don’t like dry jerk


I’m be honest the best jerk I’ve have came from Trinidad peeps… granted I haven’t been to Jamrock yet.

But dude marinate his meat(chicken or fish) in the green seasoning for a hour or so then grill it

if only used green seasoning w/o adding pimento, its not jerk
but hey technically to some -if it ain't smoked it ain't jerk
